Now's not the time, but will be a big topic this off-season.

Go C's -- keep HCA; don't give the Heat any reason to believe.

If we can't beat this team w/o Rob then we're not as good as we think.
Still don't believe in Joe.

The Cs can beat them and they will.  Glad they have Theis available if needed.

So...two questions...

Do you start Theis or Gwill?

Which does Ime start?

I'd keep w double bigs to start, go Theis.
But think Ime starts Gwill.

Probably Grant, especially if Tucker is starting.

Start GWill, just for the defensive capabilities.

I know Lowry isn't 100%, but with them +Lowry and us -RWill, I think this game is tough.

Sounds like Timelord isn’t officially ruled out yet per Ime just now, but they sound like they expect him to be. Ime said he’d start Theis in place of Rob if he can’t go, as he likes both Al and grant where they are.

Theis is horrible against this team. What was he, -16 in game 1 or close 2 that. Miami will run whatever pick and roll it takes to get Bam matched up w/ him. Not good.

Have him in uniform in case we need a key rebound---it's bound to happen
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Doubt the plan is to put Theis on Bam.   Put him on Tucker and let him be the help defender.

If Miami wants to run a pick and roll with PJ Tucker and Bam I am happy to let them

Rob only played 20 minutes in game 2, and we've gone without him during most of this playoff run. We'll be ok.

Rob was not the reason the Cs won the last game.  He helped but they can win without him.

Bam is due for a good game. I don’t think Theis has played that well since he’s been back. Al needs 2 stay out of foul trouble tonight.

I don’t know. If Deuce throws more shade on Grant then he’s riding the bench to start
